This weekend we are attending a dinner party on Saturday night hosted by my boss. I think these six rules for being a good guest are spot on. I’ll be keeping them top of mind this weekend.

Dinner tonight included Gwyneth’s maple-dijon roasted winter veggies. SO. GOOD. And so easy. We had it with pork chops + wild rice.

3 tbsp maple syrup
3 tbsp Dijon mustard
3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1/2 tsp coarse salt
1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1 large sweet potato, peeled and cut into 3-inch sticks about 1/2-inch wide
4 parsnips, peeled and cut as above
4 carrots, peeled and cut as above

Preheat the oven to 425F.

Mix together the maple syrup, mustard, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Toss together with the vegetables on a cookie sheet. Roast, stirring occasionally (oops, I didn’t do this) until browned and cooked through, about 25 minutes.

Serves 4.

I left Charlotte at the backup daycare for the morning again this week. I love the summary they provide when I pick her up.
